Revolut Takes the Safe Path: Expanding Investment Offerings for Low-Risk Croatian Investors
Revolut, a leading financial technology company, has announced that it will be expanding its investment offering in Croatia by adding bonds and providing investment services through Revolut Securities Europe UAB. This move comes after a survey conducted by Dynata on behalf of Revolut revealed that 37% of Croats have low risk tolerance and are seeking safer investment options.
Among the 15 European countries surveyed, Croatian citizens were found to be the most conservative investors, with an average of 29% preferring safer investment options. In response to this demand, Revolut has decided to add bonds to its investment portfolio as they offer stability and diversification potential for investors with lower risk tolerance.
Bonds are typically preferred by investors seeking reliable returns while minimizing risk. They are utilized by governments and corporations to raise capital and offer protection against inflation, making them attractive for investors who prioritize stability over high returns. Revolut currently offers close to 40 corporate and government bonds, with plans to expand this list in the future. The minimum investment amount for bonds is $100 USD/EUR, with a fixed fee of 0.25% per trade (minimum fee of $1 USD/EUR).
Revolut’s goal is to provide a comprehensive investment platform that caters to a wide range of investors within the EEA. Users have access to over 2,800 US and European stocks, more than 500 exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and real-time performance tracking tools within the Revolut app. However, Revolut cautions that like all investments there is a risk of capital loss with bonds. The value of investments can fluctuate, past performance may not indicate future performance, default by bond issuer could result in total loss of investment and currency fluctuations may impact their value as well. Therefore users are advised to review Revolut’s Trading Terms and Conditions
